Netizens have been quick to mock the prediction, pointing out that while sex technology has indeed advanced, we are far from the widespread adoption of sex robots, especially in everyday relationships. The idea of robots replacing human partners, particularly in terms of intimacy and emotional connection, still feels more like science fiction than reality for most people.
While sex toys and virtual reality experiences have become more sophisticated, fully interactive humanoid robots designed for intimate relationships are not yet mainstream, nor is there widespread demand for them.
This prediction also raises ethical and philosophical questions about human relationships, intimacy, and technology. Critics argue that such ideas reduce complex human emotions and connections to mechanistic experiences, ignoring the emotional depth involved in relationships. As 2025 nears, the trolling of this forecast underscores how far reality lags behind such futuristic imaginings.
